June 6th is Visually Impaired People Day, and it’s an important reminder of how Medicare handles vision care for older adults.
Original Medicare focuses on medical needs, so it generally covers eye-related conditions and treatment rather than routine vision checkups. Medicare Advantage plans, on the other hand, typically include benefits like annual eye exams and other routine vision services.
We put together a quick overview to help you understand the difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage when it comes to vision care.
